Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Re: home

If you are the person who was awarded the real estate in your divorce decree, and the Judgment includes that award, you may be able to dispose of the real estate without the need for your ex-spouse's signature on an actual deed. It might depend upon the way that the Judgment was worded. It may be possible for you in this situation to simply record the Judgment with the Recorder of Deeds so that any one searching the title to the real estate will see that you are the owner of record. Your question does not really tell us enough information to provide you with any definite advice. I would suggest that you contact an attorney, perhaps the one who represented you in the divorce, and obtain competent legal advice.
